When Martin Luther King JR. spoke the words: “I have a dream,” he opened up a dialogue, encouraging us to live in harmony with one another…and he followed through with a vision of dedication and great faith. Imagination is the ability to envision and dream great dreams.

Joseph, in the Bible, learned through some very painful lessons, to align his gift of imagination with his spiritual purpose. In doing that, he transformed his life!

For dreams to be fulfilled there must be some action taken. We cannot hope that creative things will transpire on their own.

We must act, pursue, and above all other things, align our thoughts to the power of positiveness. When we are dedicated to achieving a goal or a desire, we can be assured that we will be guided to the people, places, and circumstances that will ensure success.

Often people have found awareness to imaginative ideas through meditation, prayer, and quiet times. Many times a moment will come when understanding speaks and our inner knowing and illumination takes place. It so often happens in the dark of the night. (Because of that I make it a point to keep a pad and pencil on my nightstand.)

When we align our goals with our Lord spiritual ideas pour forth like fountains of light.

When we listen and open our hearts, trusting God for divine help, we will clearly see our options.

Use the power of imagination to bring your ideas into being and visualize answered prayers. When an inspired idea comes to you that you’d like to create in your life, use your mind to imagine what it would look like, how it would feel to achieve it, and the steps you need to take to bring it about. With God’s help and guidance use your imagination to bring about success, healing, and the best outcomes for all you pursue.

“For I am about to create new heavens and a new earth.”

-:Isaiah 65:17:-
